I Have A Trillion Protagonist Halos

Chapter 53: Refining The Star Element Fruits

"How many?" Song Shanhai was momentarily stunned, thinking he misheard.

"Forty," Su Zhan repeated.

"Four Forty?" Song Shanhai was a bit dumbfounded. "Su Zhan, are you sure you're not saying four instead of forty?"

"Isn't it said that martial artists, no matter how old they are, won't have the hearing and vision problems like ordinary people? Why is Song Imperial Teacher's hearing so bad?" Su Zhan looked at Song Shanhai with some surprise.

"Cough, Su Zhan, perhaps Song Imperial Teacher misheard for a moment," Chen Changfeng said, seeing Song Shanhai's face darken. However, he himself was also somewhat skeptical and asked, "Su Zhan, did you really obtain forty Star Element Fruits?"

Although he had great confidence in Su Zhan's strength, forty seemed too many! Since the discovery of the Dark Star Forest secret realm, it had been 130 years, and in those 130 years, the most Star Element Fruits brought out from the Dark Star Forest by a genius was only thirteen!

"What's the point of lying about this? I can show them to you."

"Don't!" Chen Changfeng quickly said, "It's true that it's very safe to refine the Star Element Fruits here, but that's under normal circumstances. If you were to openly display and refine forty Star Element Fruits one by one, it might cause some disturbances!"

"Alright," Su Zhan nodded.

Chen Changfeng was right. Forty Star Element Fruits would have a significant impact on the Origin Elixir realm experts. It was hard to say if someone would lose their rationality and try to snatch them.

Then, a white light flashed from Su Zhan's storage ring, and a pile of Star Element Fruits appeared in his hand. There were a total of six fruits, just enough to fill one hand.

"Imperial Teacher, do you have anything to say now?" Chen Changfeng smiled and looked at Song Shanhai.

"Fine! This time, I was mistaken! The Crane Immortal Sect will send someone to deliver the Crane Wine to the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect!" Song Shanhai said with a gloomy face. "But I still don't believe that Su Zhan obtained forty Star Element Fruits!"

"Hehe! Whether the Imperial Teacher believes it or not, it has nothing to do with me," Chen Changfeng chuckled and said to Su Zhan, "Su Zhan, after you return to the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect, I will treat you to the top-grade spirit wine from the fifteen countries!"

"A humble person like me is honored!" Su Zhan replied.

Song Shanhai was so angry that his beard was trembling. Just now, he had said those words to provoke Chen Changfeng, but unexpectedly, he was now being fiercely slapped in the face. He turned around, snorted coldly, and walked away with Hua Yiyi, preparing to guard her during the process of refining the Star Element Fruits.

"By the way, Yiyi, why did you suddenly say that Su Zhan had over a dozen Star Element Fruits?" After walking a hundred meters away, Song Shanhai remembered this and asked with some confusion.

Hua Yiyi hesitated for a moment and said, "Imperial Teacher, Su Zhan is actually very strong!"

"Nonsense, being able to obtain more than five Star Element Fruits, how could he not"

"He is even stronger than Ye Yunxuan!"

Song Shanhai's words abruptly stopped, and he stood still, somewhat incredulous. "Ye Yunxuan is one of the top three powerhouses in the Dark Star Forest this time. His strength is estimated to be comparable to the mid-Origin Elixir stage. What makes you think that Su Zhan is stronger than Ye Yunxuan?"

What makes you think that Su Zhan is stronger than Ye Yunxuan?

Hua Yiyi forced a bitter smile and said, "Su Zhan killed Ye Yunxuan. Imperial Teacher, who do you think is stronger between the two?"

"Su Zhan killed Ye Yunxuan?" Song Shanhai was startled, his eyes widened, and he spoke solemnly, "Tell me in detail!"

"Alright." Then, Hua Yiyi explained how Su Zhan killed Ye Yunxuan.

Of course, she didn't mention her attempt to get close to Ye Yunxuan, begging Su Zhan for mercy, or even giving him the only Star Element Fruit and the opportunity to enter the Holy Pool. She simply said that she happened to encounter the situation. Those things were too embarrassing. Moreover, even if she told Song Shanhai, there was no way he could help her retrieve the Star Element Fruit. It would only make her lose face for no reason.

"His personal divine lifesource weapon, divine body"

After listening to Hua Yiyi's account, Song Shanhai's gaze fixed on Su Zhan not far away. He was dazed for a moment before forcing a bitter smile. "After all, why would the Sword Sect send someone ordinary in the secret realm! I'm truly getting old and my eyes are failing me. I actually mistook such a monstrous genius for an ordinary talent!"

No wonder, no wonder this old man Chen Changfeng was so confident in his bet with me. With a monstrous genius like Su Zhan, how could he lack confidence??? I should have realized it earlier!

Song Shanhai regretted losing half of the Crane Wine to Chen Changfeng for nothing, and at the same time, his impression of Su Zhan underwent a tremendous change.

Initially, even when he saw Su Zhan obtaining so many Star Element Fruits, he only thought that Su Zhan's strength might be decent, mainly due to his extraordinary luck. But now it seems that Su Zhan's martial talent is the most shocking thing!

Divine body, personal divine lifesource weapon This kind of genius is definitely on a level far above the most outstanding talents of the fifteen countries! If Su Zhan can be won over, it would be extremely beneficial for the Flower Moon Country!

As Song Shanhai pondered over these thoughts, his gaze fell upon Hua Yiyi. With a flicker in his heart, he smiled and said, "Yiyi, what do you think of Su Zhan?"

"Senior Brother Su, he has unparalleled talent and a transcendent temperament," Hua Yiyi began, but her eyes revealed a sense of loss. She shook her head and continued, "I understand the Imperial Teacher's thoughts, but I'm afraid it's impossible between me and Senior Su"

"Why is that?"

"Because forget it. I'm going to start refining the Star Element Fruit now. Imperial Teacher, please help me guard and don't let anyone disturb me."

Although Hua Yiyi had the words on the tip of her tongue, she couldn't bring herself to say them. Even though she only met Su Zhan a few times, he was undoubtedly the most attractive man she had ever met. Even with his exceptional talents, he wasn't overly arrogant or lustful like most geniuses his age. Yet now, she had destroyed her first impression in his eyes completely, so she knew she had no chance with Su Zhan. With a downcast mood, she sat cross-legged and began refining the Star Element Fruit.

Seeing this, although Song Shanhai was puzzled, he couldn't continue to inquire further.

At this moment, there was only a little time left before the spatial passage closed completely. Those who could come out had mostly already come out. As for those who couldn't come out, most of them would forever remain in the Dark Star Forest.

One by one, the geniuses began refining the Star Element Fruit under the guardianship of their respective elders.

Su Zhan was no exception. He swept his gaze around, found a relatively open area, and took out the Star Element Fruit.

"Su Zhan, the difficulty of refining the Star Element Fruit is much lower compared to other spiritual medicines. However, you must not only complete the initial refinement and immediately start refining the next one. The medicinal power of the Star Element Fruit is extremely volatile, especially if you have only completed the initial refinement without fully refining it into your limbs, bones, dantian, and meridians!" Chen Changfeng reminded.

"The Star Element Fruit has the incredible effect of washing the marrow and opening the meridians, improving the innate talent of martial practitioners. Don't waste its medicinal power!" he added.

"Understood," Su Zhan nodded. He took out a Star Element Fruit and placed it in his mouth, beginning the process of refining it.

The Refining Halo activated!

Instantly, the Star Element Fruit rapidly disintegrated, and its medicinal power merged into his bones, flesh, and meridians. Su Zhan felt a sensation of his entire body being strengthened, even down to his cells. Of course, this feeling was very subtle, far less intense than the Sun God Flower he had encountered before.

However, just one Star Element Fruit already had such an effect. If he could fully refine all forty fruits, not to mention the Star God Fruit his Great Sun Divine Body would probably undergo another transformation!
